I think it's important to stay focused on the big things. For me there is one - and only one - question that matters in this election cycle.

If I vote for this person, will we still have our Democratic Republic at the end of 2028?

I cannot answer "yes" to that if Trump wins a second term. The best I can say is "maybe". But I know we will with a second term for Biden.

I ask the same question all the way down the ballot, from Senators to US Representative, to governor and state legislators, to mayors and city councils and county officials. Do they support our current form of government or are they willing to throw it away to get themselves elected?

All of this talk about criminal convictions and age and tax policy and budgets and foreign affairs pales in comparison to this question. If the candidate is willing to tear apart the basic fabric of our country to get themselves elected, they do not deserve to be elected. Because if enough of them do get elected, they WILL tear apart the Constitution and reconstitute the country so that they and their friends will remain in power despite the will of the people.

Vote carefully this time around, or you vote may never again matter.
